Sortie rapide à vélo de Pekre à Ruše

Looking for a chill ride through the Drava Valley? This cycling route takes you from the village vibe of Pekre to the laid-back town of Ruše—just over 11 km of mostly smooth pedaling. Start your journey in Pekre, known as a Maribor suburb with a great view of the Pohorje hillside (and, if you’re lucky, the old Maribor ski lifts in the distance).

You’ll roll along a mix of cycleways and quiet backroads, with the Drava River peeking in from time to time. Most of the ride is paved, but keep an eye out for a few gravel stretches—nothing too rough, just enough to add a bit of adventure. There’s hardly any climbing, making it a mellow option for all levels.

Cruising into Ruše is a treat—this small town is famous for its hiking trails and as a gateway to some lovely forests. If you’ve got time, stop for coffee at a local café, or check out the town’s pretty riverside setting. All in all, a relaxed ride perfect for unwinding or a casual day out on two wheels!
